RACONTEUR (The Storyteller) - Tuba #Jazz Ensemble #INTERMEDIATE #Jazz #Rock #Christopher Burnett #RACONTEUR #BurnettPublishing.COM #SheetMusicPlus
Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.954014 Composed by Christopher Burnett. Jazz,Rock. Score and parts. 2 pages. BurnettPublishing.COM #3457583. Published by BurnettPublishing.COM (A0.954014). RACONTEUR (The Storyteller)A unique jazz-rock ballad for concerts and contests. Includes a flute and tuba player. Suitable for programming by both student and professional ensembles.RACONTEUR (The Storyteller) is a modern jazz-rock ballad composition written and arranged for a modified large jazz ensemble instrumentation. Parts for C Flute and Tuba are scored to add those unique timbres to the ensemble sound.Rather than feature a single instrument, the melody is purposely distributed throughout the ensemble. However, the musical focal point of the piece is intended to be the featured improvisation solo space provided for Bb Tenor Saxophone 1. Since each improvisation is original and unique, the music should retain a newness with each performance. A theory sheet is also provided for less experienced improvisers to enhance soloist creativity within the intended harmonic context.Scored for groups performing at the medium level (grade 2.5 - 3.0), the unique chord progression provides the soloist with myriad possibilities from which to construct improvisational melodies. Improvisation is a key element of jazz music. Thus, this improvised solo will also inherently impact the level and quality of the entire sound of each ensemble performance.Brass ranges are purposely kept very reasonable. Piano part includes through-composed material along with written chord voicings. Bass & Drum Set Guide share the same part in an effort to encourage the two players to interact rhythmically to enhance the jazz-rock groove feel of the piece. Rhythm section parts are annotated with chord symbols.
